There are still three weeks to go before the Cannes Film Festival unveils its official-selection lineup, but so far, the latest Pixar 3D animated extravaganza and new films from Woody Allen, Todd Haynes, Jeff Nichols, Denis Villeneuve and Arnaud Desplechin appear to be securing their positions in the event’s 68th annual edition (May 13-24).

Gazing into the crystal ball, Screen rounds up its Cannes predictions.

With the unveiling of Cannes Film Festival’s Official Selection now exactly three weeks away buzz over the titles that Thierry Fremaux and his team will select for the 68th edition is hitting fever pitch.

Official teaser announcements have started to roll this week, led by the confirmation on Wednesday that George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road would premiere in an Out of Competition screening on May 14.

Earlier the week, Cannes unveiled its poster featuring Ingrid Bergman to mark the centenary of the late big screen’s birth and it was announced that Stig Bjorkman’s documentary Ingrid Bergman – In Her Own Words would show in Cannes Classics as part of the commemorations.

For the rest of the Official Selection, except perhaps the opening film which is traditionally revealed in advance, Cannes watchers will have to wait for the announcement press conference in Paris on April

Nsfw!
The new cast of True Detective is hard at work filming season 2 in California, and you'll never guess the latest actors reportedly joining Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Taylor Kitsch, and Rachel McAdams on the HBO hit: porn stars!
Adult film actresses Amia Miley and Peta Jensen were both spotted by a Hollywood Reporter source on set filming a sexy scene that THR described as a "vast, Eyes Wide Shut-caliber orgy sequence involving dozens of naked bodies."
Talk about racy! Interestingly, THR reports that Miley and Jensen didn't [...]

Season two of True Detective sounds like it's going to be hot, hot, hot!
The hit HBO series has reportedly cast female porn stars Amia Miley and Peta Jensen, according to THR. According to the trade, the 24-year-old adult film stars were cast for a racy orgy sex scene involving dozens of naked people that will take place in the upcoming season. The scene was shot recently at a mansion in Pasadena, Calif.
And yes, new True Detective stars Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams were involved in the filming of the X-rated orgy scene.
Fans of Miley and Jensen shouldn't get too excited though. THR reports that both of them are actually among a few extras who do not get completely naked for the orgy

HBO is looking to keep as many details about "True Detective" season two on lockdown, but in the age of internet, it's inevitable that we have, at the very least, a somewhat simple understanding of what the next season entails. The official logline states the plot revolves around three police officers (Colin Farrell, Taylor Kitsch, Rachel McAdams) and a career criminal (Vince Vaughn) who must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder. We also know the show involves the transportation industry and occult in some manner, and now a few more details have surfaced. So, in case you really want to keep things fresh going in, **spoilers ahead**.
But first, THR reports that porn stars Amia Miley (fun fact: she was in that "Power/Rangers" bootleg movie) and Peta Jensen (obviously, Google these folks at home) have both been cast for what the trade describes as "a deliriously vast,

Filming on season 2 of True Detective is in full swing right now, with last month delivering us a gallery of snaps taken from the show’s Los Angeles locations. Besides those visual updates, one of the series’ newest additions, Vince Vaughn, spoke to Playboy recently and emphasized that this sophomore season intends to keep the richly drawn characters and strong material which made the first season a success, but eschew the story and cast. Most of this was already public knowledge, but it was still encouraging to hear Vaughn also make mention of the differences between the seasons.

One colossal difference may be the inclusion of what The Hollywood Reporter terms a “deliriously vast, Eyes Wide Shut-caliber orgy sequence involving dozens of naked bodies.” The trade dropped that titillating tidbit in a news post concerning the addition of yet more cast members; two famous adult film industry starlets: Amia Miley and Peta Jensen.

I have to assume if you watched the first season of HBO's "True Detective" you're in line and anxiously awaiting season two and perhaps some new plot details will increase your interest.
First we'll go to a report from Movie Pilot where it takes early hints at the season's plot from creator Nic Pizzolatto and him saying the plot will revolve around "the secret occult history of the United States transportation system". For those not wanting any spoilers, perhaps look away as the site reports:
The season is due to kick off with the dead body of a corrupt politician being found along the Pacific Coast Highway with satanic symbols carved into his chest. California Highway Patrol officers Colin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch are assigned the case.
It turns out the victim is a known associate of Vince Vaughn's character and this dead man had a dark side involving

HBO's "pervert exec" strikes again! According to The Hollywood Reporter, adult actresses Amia Miley and Peta Jensen have been cast in the second season of True Detective, and will be featured in what THR is calling a "deliriously vast orgy sequence" full of "Eyes Wide Shut–caliber sex antics." Weirdly, THR notes that the two oft-naked actresses don't actually get "totally naked" themselves and it's an open question whether Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams (who were also present) will also keep their clothes on. Everyone else, though? Naked! The orgy will likely be connected to the season's inciting incident, the discovery of a dead city manager "who had a penchant for rough sex and may have been involved in the occult." If they can do it all in one shot, we'll be really impressed.

One bit of casting regarding the upcoming second season of HBO's "True Detective" seems to have raised more trouser tents than headlines.

THR reports that at least two major talents in the adult film industry - specifically Amia Miley and Peta Jensen - have both been hired for a "deliriously vast, Eyes Wide Shut-caliber orgy sequence involving dozens of naked bodies".

Said sequence was reportedly shot recently in a Pasadena mansion, and lead actors Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams were present for filming. The real twist though? The adult actresses were reportedly among the few people who actually don't get totally naked in the sequence.

The production reportedly didn't hire Miley and Jensen for their porn experience, rather they signed on with an extras casting service. It's unclear if other male or female adult film actors were present, and all participants have signed nondisclosure agreements, so we probably won't

Amid the buzz surrounding the casting for True Detective's season two, the HBO drama recently made some unorthodox hires: porn stars.
Sources say at least two major talents in the adult film industry, Amia Miley and Peta Jensen, both 24, were hired for a deliriously vast, Eyes Wide Shut-caliber orgy sequence involving dozens of naked bodies. According to participants in the scene, the sequence was shot over the past few days in a Pasadena mansion. Season two stars Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams were also present for filming.
Funny twist: The adult actresses apparently are among the few people

Talk about a pot of gold! St. Patrick’s Day is about more than simply wearing a green sweater and drinking a pint of Guinness. It’s also the perfect opportunity to drool over the Irish brogue and glistening six-packs (we’re not talking about green beer) of some of Hollywood’s elite from across the pond.
Here are the Top 10 hunky Irish celebs to get your Sham-rocked this St. Paddy’s Day!

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and we’ve rounded up some film gems from the Emerald Isle for our quiz on Irish movies and our favourite Irish actors.
From our born-and-bred Irish favourites like Cillian Murphy, Colin Farrell and Liam Neeson, actors who hold a dual citizenship with Ireland like Daniel Day-Lewis, Saoirse Ronan and Michael Fassbender and pretty much anyone who has ever found themselves in a Neil Jordan film, we just can’t get enough of Ireland on the big screen.

The Irish are great storytellers, which means they've also made some damn fine films. If you want to go beyond the wearing (and drinking) of the green for St. Patrick's Day, hit up Netflix for some great cinematic yarns.

Judging by the first full-length trailer, we also won’t be getting any of the do-gooderness of Captain America or comedy of Iron Man when Daredevil -- the first of four superhero mini-series -- debuts on Netflix. (If you need a primer on the series, check out our nerdy deep dive here.)

Check out the newest trailer for the darker, grittier Marvel series:

Here are just seven of the darkest, grittiest, bloodies, most badass moments:

Vince Vaughn never imagined he would someday place his handprints and footprints in cement at the world famous Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, but that all came true at the ceremony Wednesday morning.

“I remember being a young kid – I came out [to L.A.] when I was 18 -- walking down these streets and coming across the Chinese [Theatre] and really being impressed by it and looking at all the names and all the hands and footprints and it being inspiring,” Vaughn told Et. “To be included now is a lot of fun.”

Vaughn is known for his deadpan comedic humor and iconic roles like the 1996 cult classic Swingers and 2005’s Wedding Crashers. But Vaughn is excited to turn back to drama in the upcoming second season of HBO's True Detective, where he’ll be starring opposite Colin Farrell.
